Abstract
Concentration of intense economic processes and high level of consumption in urban areas increase total waste generation and more space is required for waste disposal. Ministry of Finance (BAU: 2009) has estimated by 2041 it would be 1400 sq. km which will be equal to the total area of Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad city. Present solid waste management practices are shadowed by institutional lacuna, lack of proper funding, lack of management and operational systems, public apathy, lack of municipal will lead day by day increasing practice of dump to dump yard. The most pressing problem faced by any urban centre in India today is Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSW). Rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles have led to the generation of huge amounts of garbage and waste in the urban areas. Over the past few years, the handling this MSWM has become a major organizational, financial and environmental challenge. (Ramachandra T. V. & Bachmanda, S. 2007). During the last century urban population of India increased ten folds from 27 million to 270 million. India produces 48.0 MT of MSW annually at present. Central Pollution Control Board, India (2009) said that by the year 2021, the urban population is expected to represent 41% of the overall population and subsequently MSW is expected to increase to 300 MT per year, by the year 2047 (490 g to 945 g per capita). A number of technologies are being proposed for management and disposal of garbage but so far no technology has been shortlisted as the one which would be viable not only from the environment angle but also in terms of the cost involved for unanimously in Indian context. (Davidson, 2000) . Waste dumping is the only favorable method to urban local body without any further action. Day by day increasing trend practice of dump to dump yard won’t sustain the function. So there is a requirement of taking integrated policy and technology to use less land as land is precious. A number of technologies are being proposed for reduction of waste quantity through process and disposal of solid waste in general for different city or towns, but so far no technology has been shortlisted as the one which would be viable not only from the environment angle but also in terms of the cost involved for unanimously in urban local body in India. A holistic approach is being therefore, derived through State-Space Model to manage waste by combining and applying a range of suitable techniques, technologies and management programs to achieve less requirement of land near urban areas by accounting area specific number of variables over period of time.
